# Losant MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Losant MCP lets you control your IoT ecosystem directly through your AI agent. It handles device management, time-series data queries, and workflow automation for smart infrastructure. Use it to manage fleets, trigger actions, and pull sensor data without leaving your chat or code editor. ## Overview - **Category:** iot-hardware - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_bL0nSZKYHlTSlhESUjlprolo2PMKUvm5nEgp4s7K/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** iot-platform, device-management, workflow-automation, time-series, smart-city ## Description Connect your Losant platform to your AI agent to handle your IoT environment through natural conversation. This Connector lets you take over the heavy lifting of device management and data retrieval without navigating through complex dashboards. You can check sensor values, trigger maintenance workflows, or pull historical data for a report just by asking your agent. It turns your chat interface into a command center for your smart infrastructure. You can skip the manual navigation if you're an engineer debugging a specific sensor or a manager looking for a high-level status update. You'll find it's one of the most practical ways to interact with the Losant platform, especially when you're using the Vinkius catalog to keep all your integrations organized in one place. It makes the daily tasks of IoT operations feel like a simple conversation. ## Tools ### create_application Create a new Losant application.

You have 3 active apps: **Smart Factory** (ID: 60a...), **Office HVAC** (ID: 61b...), and **Fleet Tracker** (ID: 62c...). Which one would you like to explore? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Show me all devices in application 60a123456789. ``` **Response:** ``` In the **Smart Factory** application, I found 12 devices. - **Online**: 10 - **Offline**: 2 Notable devices include **Main Boiler** and **Assembly Line 1**. Would you like the details for a specific one? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Trigger the 'Emergency Reset' virtual button in workflow 5f987654321. ``` **Response:** ``` The virtual button for **Emergency Reset** in workflow 5f987654321 has been successfully pressed. The workflow logic is now executing. ``` ## Capabilities ### Create and clone IoT applications Set up new environments or duplicate existing ones to scale your infrastructure. ### Send real-time commands to devices Trigger hardware actions and update device states instantly via your agent. ### Query historical time-series data Pull sensor readings over specific periods for analysis or reporting. ### Trigger workflow virtual buttons Activate specific logic paths in your automation workflows with text commands. ### Manage data tables and files Interact with structured data and storage files within your application. ### Export device data for analysis Get your device data into a usable format for external processing. ## Use Cases ### Rapid Site Deployment A developer needs to set up a new site and asks the agent to `clone_application` from a pre-approved template. ### Bulk Data Export A researcher needs to pull all sensor records for a specific month and asks the agent to `export_data` for analysis. ## Benefits - Query historical data instantly with `query_time_series` to skip manual CSV exports. - Manage your fleet at scale with `list_devices` to check statuses in seconds. - Automate manual tasks by triggering actions with `press_virtual_button` via your agent. - Keep your data organized by creating and querying tables with `create_data_table`. - Update hardware states on the fly using `send_device_command` without opening a terminal. ## How It Works The bottom line is that you get a natural language interface for your entire IoT infrastructure. 1. Subscribe to the Losant MCP 2. Provide your Losant API Token 3. Ask your agent to list applications or query device states ## Frequently Asked Questions **Can I use Losant MCP to check my sensors?** Yes. You can ask your agent to pull the latest readings or query historical time-series data for any sensor in your fleet. **How do I trigger a workflow with this Connector?** You can trigger specific logic by asking your agent to press a virtual button within a workflow, which initiates the automation immediately. **Can the agent help me manage my IoT device fleet?** Absolutely. You can list all devices, check their online status, and send direct commands to individual hardware units. **Can I pull historical data from Losant?** Yes, you can query time-series data to see how your devices have performed over hours, days, or weeks. **Does this Connector work with my existing Losant API token?** Yes, it connects directly to your existing account using your Losant API token for secure access. **Can I create new applications using the agent?** Yes, you can ask your agent to create, clone, or import applications to help you scale your IoT infrastructure quickly. **Can I manually trigger a Losant workflow using this integration?** Yes! You can use the `press_virtual_button` tool by providing the Application ID and Workflow ID. This allows your AI agent to trigger specific automation logic on demand. **How do I check the current status of a specific sensor or device?** Use the `get_device` tool with the Application ID and Device ID. The agent will return the full device metadata, including its last reported state and connection status. **Is it possible to retrieve historical data for analysis?** Absolutely. You can use `query_time_series` to fetch historical attribute data or `query_last_value` for the most recent data points across your device fleet.
